4460 vs 4590?

[girdwood]

Why do I keep reading recommendations for the 4460 over the 4590? Over a less than $20 difference in most cases is there something the 4460 is particularly good at?

Just curious.

There very close in performance, only difference is a 300mhz higher clock on the 4590, I would go with whichever fits into budget better.

But seriously forThe $10 U.S. Difference. Why not get a processor that benchmarks and performs better?

You aren't going to find many other areas of your build to put $10 and get any kind of difference, so why not put it towards a better CPU?

If the i5 4590 is only 10$ more then get that cpu, it performs great. I had it in a mini-itx build that I sold to a friend who owns a massage shop, he loves it paired with a 840 Pro SSD.

I had posted the same question some time ago and the answer i got was that there is no difference between them in terms of gaming the only difference is at video editing and at some other stuff (they did not mention what stuff 🙁 )
